Official Amazing Spider-Man Game to Release Alongside Film

Spider-Man, Spider-Man, does whatever a Spider-Man does. Earlier today in a press statement, Gameloft and Marvel announced that they’re teaming up to develop the official mobile game for The Amazing Spider-Man, coming to theaters this summer.

Gameloft’s previous Spider-Man game, Spider-Man: Total Mayhem was a critical hit, and the company is excited to take another (web-) shot at the property. “After having previously made Spider-Man: Total Mayhem, which was a huge success for both us and Marvel, we have even bigger ambitions for this new installment, The Amazing Spider-Man,” said Gameloft’s Senior Vice-President of Marketing, Gonzague de Vallois. “In addition to being an opportunity for Gameloft to showcase our skills in adapting movies into games, when combined with the fact that this is one of the most popular and commercially successful Super Heroes of all time, after having boasted one of the highest grossing movie franchises in history, we expect this title to be a great success.”

The Amazing Spider-Man game is a 3D action-adventure title that’s teeming with familiar environments, characters, and enemies. You’re able to develop Spidey’s skills while freely exploring the city (which is an open world), so we can safely presume that there will be webslinging involved. Villains beware.

The Amazing Spider-Man game will launch on July 3, which is the opening day for the movie as well. It’ll be available on feature phones, iOS, and Android.

Every year at E3, we keep ourselves busy with hands-on previews and developer interviews for the latest iOS games. But we always try to make time to check out the latest iOS-like consoles from Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. Two years ago, we tried out the 3DS to see if 3D mobile gaming would take off, and last year, we put the PSP Vita through its paces. This year, the most iOS-like console at E3 is Nintendo’s Wii U, so we took it for a test drive to see if its touchscreen controller can compare with the best of iPad gaming. (more…)

Talk about a big week! iOS was more present than ever at this year’s E3, and we have the stories to prove it. Read on for samples of all of our coverage of the biggest gaming event of the year, with links to the full articles. (more…)

Whether Americans want to acknowledge it or not, the biggest sport in the world is soccer. Whenever EA Sports drops a new FIFA title, it’s a big deal, a worldwide event. Naturally, we were curious to see how FIFA 13 on iOS was coming along. With a Fall release, the development window is closing soon. Check out our impressions from the E3 build shown behind closed doors. (more…)

Ever hear of a fun little indie game called Zombie Highway? Well, so has Glu Mobile. Glu is borrowing (okay, outright stealing) this concept and putting their own mark on it, launching it under the name Mutant Roadkill. And while we like the new additions, we can’t help but feel they’re being shameless in repurposing someone else’s good idea. (more…)

AppSpy takes a look at AG Drive in their latest video review. Giving it top marks and only dinging it for not having multiplayer. If you like “swooshy swoopy futuristic racers” this one might be the one.
